Decent motel adjacent to a truck stop. The location is great. Front desk staff are friendly and breakfast is great! The doors are hard to unlock and operate and there are tons of cigarettes butts and trash all around the property.

Hotel called me three times the day of travel to hound me trying to find out when I would be arriving. We ended up checking in at 2100, for the night. I was worried the entire drive there that they would cancel my reservation. The rooms are also filthy

I would definitely stay here again. The rooms were spotless, the beds were comfortable, the fridge was roomy, and there were plenty of very decent towels. The shower had great water pressure, too. The only negative experience was when I checked in, the clerk didn’t give me the room that I wanted, but in the end he did so crisis averted.
